Should You Hire a Home Inspector?
The experience of buying a house can be both exciting and stressful. As the buyer, you have many decisions to make. One of these decisions involves whether or not to have your dream house inspected. When people ask me whether they should have the house inspected, my answer to them is one word: ABSOLUTELY!!
The benefits of a home inspection are undeniable. Not only will a home inspection educate you as the buyer on the condition of a house, it will identify visible defects that adversely affect the value of the house or put you and your family at physical risk. Having a home inspection done before the purchase of a house is one of the best small investments you can make in the single largest financial purchase of your life.
Why You Should Do a Home Inspection
A home inspection is an objective visual examination of the physical structure and systems of a home, from roof to foundation. A home inspection is the equivalent of a physical examination from your doctor. When problems or symptoms are found, the inspector may recommend further evaluation or remedies. A home inspection summarizes the condition of a property, points out the need for major repairs and identifies areas the may need attention in the near future. Buyers and sellers depend on an accurate home inspection to maximize their knowledge of the property in order to make intelligent decisions before executing an agreement for sale or purchase. A home inspection points out the positive aspects of a home, as well as the maintenance that will be necessary to keep in good shape. After an inspection, both parties have a much clearer understanding of the value and needs of the property.
